Preheat the oven to 210°C. Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes, to blanch. Drain.

Meanwhile, place the oil and garlic in a large baking dish and heat for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, sprinkle with salt to taste, and bake for 15 minutes, turning as they brown. Scatter over half the rosemary leaves.

Combine the oregano, chilli powder and a grinding of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the poussins with the spice mixture. Place, breast-side-up, on the potatoes and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until cooked through. Serve the birds halved, with the lemon, remaining rosemary sprigs and the potatoes.

*It's best to roast a whole chicken on a rack, which allows the fat to drip off as the bird cooks. *Remove the skin after cooking and you subtract nearly half the fat from roast chicken.
